This french woman taught me to wear skirts more, to show off either my legs, or my chest (but not both at the same time), to lather myself in fragrant lotions daily, and to always wear sexy lingerie - not for men but for myself. A side effect is that men

will

notice you in the process.

I've tried many of these things and I have noticed men looking at me in a non-creepy way. I will not tell you how many pairs of hole-y underwear I tossed (many). She also says that American women treat dating too much like a job, that we should get to know men slowly, and meet them through friends in group settings. Oh, and we definitely shouldn't sleep with them until we want a relationship with them. Mmmm...I'm still learning.

, I can't say anything more about this book lest I spoil the whole thing. However I will say this - Forget everything you think you know about marriage and relationships. The couple's relationship in this book will eff you up. I couldn't put it down.

I haven't finished it. Habit number one to change: finish non-fiction books! I have a serious problem. I've been half-way through five non-fiction books for years now. But what I've read so far is really interesting.

A heavy read, but a must read. This is the only non-fiction book I've finished in years because it's written like fiction. The story of Louie a WWII American pilot and prisoner of war in Japan is so unbelievably inspiring I was left speechless and teary eyed. Humans are evil and humans are amazing.

Don't worry this isn't a book about baseball. It's about friendship, love and believing in yourself but it's not overly sentimental. You get to know each character intimately. I haven't finished it yet but I'm hooked.
